Description

“You can build software with Excel. You can finish an Ironman on a cheap bike. But will it be enjoyable? That’s another question.”


In this inspiring and energetic episode, Sander and Jim sit down with Dana—Scrum Master, team lead, and passionate triathlete—just ahead of her session at the Online Scrum Master Summit. Together, they unpack:


  • Dana’s journey into agile and what drew her to the Scrum Master Summit.

  • How her dual passions—agile coaching and triathlon—intersect in powerful and unexpected ways.

  • The surprising overlap between triathlon training and software delivery: focus, iteration, adaptation, and complexity.

  • The value and limitations of tools—whether it’s JIRA or a $6,000 triathlon bike—and why mindset still trumps everything.

  • The importance of coaching: in sports and in software. Do you really need to know how to code to be an effective coach?
